ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

These rare and splendid 1 7/8 inches long Victorian drop earrings magnificently present miniature full length depictions of lovely classical nymphs or muses - one of which arpeggiates dulcet chords on her lyre, the other bearing a basket of fresh cut flower blossoms - artfully painted in enamel on copper. The sublime earring frames exhibit consummate Etruscan style ornamentation with the center miniature, the top bail, and two side tassels all swinging freely. Victorian treasures masterfully crafted in rare and unusual 22 karat yellow gold.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
